“Don’t worry, Boss. I have assigned ten more people to stand guard over the basement. He can’t possibly escape this place even if he has gods helping him now.”
Duke hung up. He frowned. Adina stroked his cheek. “Don’t worry. There must be a way to solve all this.”

Duke had found the slippers in the trunk of his car. He had let Adina wear them.”
